I use 120-600 conservative. ;-(

I think with sio driver is better.

Thinking about frequency...

...perhaps using a lower clock the processor load at 100% and whe have more heat than at higher frequencies but with lower load? Is possible the processor works more (and overheat) at lower clock?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
yes because of more work it has to do i would suggest using smartass as it scales it 400-806(or other max you set) screen on and screen off its 120-320 and its pretty nice with performance

also description of VR

Requests are chosen according to SSTF with a penalty of rev_penalty

for switching head direction.

will define it more but thats what it says in the kernel

found one searching google ALOT

[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Nice kernels. You should keep post #1 updated with latest test kernels (VR and SIO) for days I haven't kept up haha.

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Will do when I get on my laptop :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I know when I use my GPS for navigation my phone gets very hot. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head how hot though. But its hot! Using the GPS radio puts a lot of strain on the battery which causes it to get very hot and drain very rapidly. While its not ideal, this is fairly normal behaviour for having GPS in use, such as navigation for an extended time. With navigation you've got the GPS radio going, the cell radio is loading route info, the display is most likely on, and the phone is not allowed to throttle down into sleep mode. Most likely its the battery heating up and not the processor. Our phones are actually not capable of reading CPU temperature. They can only read battery temperature, which is what you're seeing.

EDIT: The more I use the kernel with SIO the more I love it. Im now certain its not a placebo affect, this thing is quick!

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
+1 to that :)

Edit also updated first post
[HTC Aria Android Development] agentg1001:
This sounds really good :O I'm definitely hoping for a version for the mytouch slide, w/ the higher frequencies n stuff
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
If I had the CPU tables I would build it :) I will see

Do you know how the new wifi is used with the kernel?
[HTC Aria Android Development] agentg1001:
Not sure how to reply to that because I'm not so much of an expert at this but, cyanogen fixed wifi issues and gps direction in build #54 (nightly). Something about new modules I think (not sure) (read the cm7 nightly thread becuz that's where I'm getting this info). And jus curious, what are cpu tables?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Phone is definitely smoother with the SIO kernel
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
They are what define frequency & the like
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
-never mind-

couldnt get out the errors :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
SIO link doesn't work.

And is it aufs --on? The command?
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
Aufs --enable
[HTC Aria Android Development] ChargingPaladin:
SIO link two pages back works. First post link is 404.
[HTC Aria Android Development] agentg1001:
Hmm so could you use the cpu table from the drowingkernel6 (mytouch slide)? Htc also released a kernel source code a while back.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i cant just take it from an already built kernel i need the source and testing would be alot easier if i own an espresso

fixed links on main post :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Been running the SIO kernel since yesterday and it's definitely snappy.

Thanks for updating OP.

CM7 Aria
[HTC Aria Android Development] agentg1001:
Yea htc released the source if that helps. But yea ur rite
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
this kernel uses the exact same kernel version as the source
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
I am a little confused about these three different "schedulers"...What is exactly are they and what exactly is the difference? and which would you suggest for what sort of usage? Which scheduler was used in the last kernel? I'm on 7.

Thanks,

Mike
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
the original scheduler is BFQ what comes with the stock cm kernel

SIO is simplified and seems to yield more performance

v(r) seemed the same but i really didnt test it much

i would suggest sio
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
Thank you very much! What exactly is a scheduler though? And what is simplified about these?

I have another question. When I use the phone as GPS, I clock it to max out at 600, however when I am done with the drive, the phone is VERY VERY VERY hot. almost too hot to hold. This worries me. is there anything that I can do, any settings I can change so that the phone does no become so hot? It's because the screen is constantly on I assume.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Its just a lot of things being used all at once that puts a lot of strain on the battery and it heats up. GPS, data, and display all running full time in navigation. And im guessing the phone is charging while all thuis is going on. Its normal behaviour for the phone to get hot. Its not good for the battery, but it is normal.

I can't enable AUFs in a terminal emulator

aufs --enable goes aufs not found.

Also what is the best governor for this for speed / battery in balance? Smartass?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
are sure you su?

have the update.zip from the aufs thread?

i would suggest smartass with out a screen off profile as its built in but its your choice
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
update.zip?

where is this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
There's a thread about aufs with it there
[HTC Aria Android Development] plumberchuck:
I got permission denied. Did wipe-reflashed 61 and sio opened terminal typed in

aufs--enable, permission denied, am I missing something else. :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
You need to su

And you also need to flash the update.zip from the aufs thread
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
first post updated with directions for aufs & links
[HTC Aria Android Development] Divino:
Ok, will also be normal, when the battery temperature reaches 40°°C I change governor from conservative to ondemand (without lowering the max clock or it increases the cpu load) and disable data transfer but at 50°C but the phone restarts and is not very normal in navigation.

I am willing to sacrifice performance if I can lower the temperature, does anyone know if disabling compcache or jit or dithering or heap wm I can lower this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Don't type in the hash marks between aufs and enable. Just a space
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Its actually aufs --enable

The AUFS mode kernel needs space for the overlay of files??
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
Aufs writes the overlays onto the ext3 partition.drowning has a link explaining this in his aufs thread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] plumberchuck:
Thank u that did it
[HTC Aria Android Development] bhannemann:
Quick question on AUFS: is it easily disabled/reversible? Say I enabled it and use Metamorph, but decide I would rather go back to CM7 stock, is it just as easy to roll it back?
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
aufs --disable

Sent from my cm7 Aria.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Got it, but how much space would the overlay take? moreless?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
You can just delete the files from the ext3 partition
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
It only uses what is changed
[HTC Aria Android Development] taylor.fowler:
Followed instructions and I'm getting an error from Metamoprh about not having enough space in /system.

I can see the /sysrw in /sdext3 and there's plenty of room. aufs is enabled in terminal. Not sure what im missing here.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
did you reboot ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] whynot_:
I enabled aufs and rebooted.

Metamorph says, "Some files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system"

I have 119.34mb free in /system, and /sd-ext has 320.78mb free. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance for your time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Is it ext3?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Funkmon:
I just installed the SIO one...why does this work better than the last one? Cause it does! Is it placebo?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
doesnt seem to be placebo :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I'm a little behind in posting this, and maybe it isn't even worth it, as it appears I may be the only one affected...

The version 7 SIO kernel is booting to a default of 245/806 interactive (at least on a fairly recent CM7 nightly as well as on CM7.0.2). For whatever reason, booting at 806 max causes reboots on my device. Normally happens during the middle of the splashscreen on a first boot after flashing, and then about halfway through the sd card mount process on subsequent boots. If I get in to settings quickly enough I can change it to a lower max before the reboot, but this is sometimes difficult as the device isn't all that responsive during the initial startup after the splashscreen, with all the crap going on in the background.

At any rate, any chance you can switch back to a default max of 768 or 787 for subsequent versions?

Thanks - loving the SIO kernel by the way. Responsiveness at 120/600 smartass seems about as good as the stock kernel at 245/768 interactive...

DD
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
According to the OP, - it "Should boot @ max of 768".
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
I think he is right that it is now at 806 default.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Does anyone know of an app that will monitor/log CPU speeds when the screen is off, so that they can be looked at later?

I frequently use the phone with BT & screen off, to stream music, answer calls, and occasionally listen for GPS directions. Obviously, Smartass' "screen off " speed setting won't handle this, and I'm using Tasker to override the Smartass settings when BT is active. I'd like to get a better feel for what the CPU is doing during this time, to better tune the Tasker clock settings.

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] uacvax:
Is anyone noticing considerable more battery drain from WiFi? I use to be able to leave WiFi on overnight from a full battery charge and wake up with near 100% battery life. Now I will wake up with 97% and within minutes of using the phone it will drop all the way down to 88%.

I am using Conservative 120-600 if that matters. Any other suggestion for maximum battery life? I don't like Smartass because 400+ when screen is on is a lot of power drain. My goal is to be able to do simple low CPU tasks for a longer period of time with screen on like using gtalk or just web surfing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] plumberchuck:
I use blue tooth for the same thing and I have n-61 with dk set on smartass and have had no problems at all, I used to have tasker and all it did was screw me up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Sorry I didn't notice this it will be changed once I fix issues with wifi

If you have two Aria's and have bluetooth on they will have the same address. It's annoying.:mad:

this doesnt pertain to my kernel

as ive seen its a CM issue
[HTC Aria Android Development] uacvax:
Do you think the Wifi fix you are attempting will resolve my issue with weird battery drain on wifi?
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
When I change to smartass when it's 120/768. it works fine but when I reboot it changes to Interactive >.>

Using SIO kernel. CM 7.0.2.

Also, battery seems to be kinda bad at the moment. Not positive but looking like it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Been using ISO kernal with ladios' rc4 test rom. Running 120/786 interactive. Everything is great. Ill get 16hrs with %32 battey left. And that's no wifi. no syncing, and pretty heavy texting, phone calls, and internet. Not bad at all.

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
it boots with interactive, you can change it if you use the tick box in setcpu

do you have wifi set to sleep with screen off?

i do not replace the wifi driver i just go off of whats used, i was waiting for the next nightly as i cannot replace the wifi driver w/o errors

i will most likely be using sio as it seems to have improvment
[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
Ah, I thought maybe it was just me. Ignore my post in the other thread. And yes - SIO kicks ass.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
where you choose the main cpu settings in setcpu "set at boot" is that checked?

Drowningchild said not to use the one he posted because the wifi was messed up. I would think he will also add the smartass governer as well. So hang tight he will most likely put a new one up later tonight

[HTC Aria Android Development] SKAm69:
Can you please make this kernel with 864, 844 and 825 frequencies as well? I've been using your kernel on my Espresso for a couple month now, but it's only 120-825 Mhz. Wifi works.

HTC has released proper wifi drivers for Espresso and Legend I think recently if that may help with wifi issues.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i have not tested this but its rebased off off the cm repo & not ladios'

it SHOULD work with espresso/legend

a newer version of the linux kernel but as far as i can see it was causing the wifi issue
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i reverted back to the cm repo & not ladios' repo

if that clarifies it enough

the newer kernel version seemed to cause my usb to sleep when it was mounted & i couldnt get the wifi driver to work properly without replacing it(which would complicate things)
[HTC Aria Android Development] uacvax:
Using n69 with 7-5, no issues so far.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Using N70 with 7-5 and gapps 20110503. It's fast and smooth so far.

Edit: Initial GPS lock took 46 sec. (that's pretty quick)

Probably unrelated, and I don't know for how long it may have been an issue, but setCPU FC's if I rotate the phone from portrait to landscape.

Using n70 with 7-5. Everything is good. At first I had the usb mounting problem again. then I reflashed everything and it went away.

Anybody else notice that sometimes they turn off the screen and then randomly the Power button no longer turns on the screen anymore? The phone is active and working under the scenes because I can hear notifications chiming away, but I can't turn the screen on. I have to pull the battery and put it back.

Use the 'anykernel' method. It's way easier.

get Anykernel:

git clone https://github.com/koush/AnyKernel

Delete any modules that came with AnyKernel

rm <AnyKernelPath>/system/lib/modules/*

replace zImage in the kernel/ folder

cp <kernel path>/arch/arm/mach-msm/zImage <AnyKernelPath>/kernel

Copy modules over (generally, just wifi)

cp <module path and ifle name> <AnyKernelPath>/system/lib/modules

Create flashable zip:

cd <AnyKernelPath>

zip -r newkernel.zip *

Okay no problem. I was only OC'd to 806 as Max. I didn't install SetCPU, just used the built-in CM Performance configuration. Unfortunately after I rebooted it just for no reason really it got stuck on the boot screen for over 15 minutes and I just flashed back to FR008 for now. I wish I could continue to test this further, but it's my girlfriend's phone and she's not happy when it's not working right :rolleyes: lol. Thanks for the suggestions though.

When you use smartass with screen off, does it ever show usage at 120? Mine just goes deep sleep with 0% on the lower mhzs.
